What are the challenges in achieving high data density?
While the potential is immense, several challenges need to be addressed:
1. Thermal Stability: Nanoscale materials can be more susceptible to thermal fluctuations, which can affect data retention and integrity.
2. Manufacturing Precision: Creating and manipulating materials at the nanoscale requires extreme precision and advanced techniques, which can be costly and complex.
3. Reading and Writing Speeds: Increasing data density can sometimes lead to slower read/write speeds, necessitating the development of faster and more efficient data access methods.
